Carlos Miguel for Palmeiras

Since arriving at Palmeiras in August 2025, Carlos Miguel was considered for the starting goalkeeper position, which until then had been held by Weverton. With the injury of the experienced keeper, the former Corinthians player took over the position and quickly gained Abel Ferreira's trust, with impressive numbers guarding the Alviverde goal.

In the current season, he started in ten of the twelve summer matches, including the Campeonato Paulista and the Campeonato Brasileiro. The only two matches he did not play were the 1-0 defeat to Botafogo-SP, in which he was not even listed, and the tough 4-0 loss to Novorizontino, both in the State Championship.
